The Synergy EQ1 is an entry-level ice hockey skate from Easton that offers a step-down from the company's Synergy EQ2 model. Intended for new-comers to the sport that practice pond-skating and other recreational forms of skating, this model utilizes a synthetic nylon quarter for durability, with Easton's nylon/latex "Nylex" synthetic hybrid providing the boot liner. A molded footbed provides the feel of a custom-fitting boot, also helping to absorb excess impact on the blades. The "Bladz" are constructed of stainless steel for long-lasting sharp edges, and are built to last without the formation of corrosion or rust. The EQ1 also features a low-profile injected outsole that is strengthened in areas of common wear and maintains a low over center of gravity. LD foam ankle padding and a thick felt tongue are also included for added comfort.
